Description
Reef Octopus Elite 220-S Space Saver Super Cone Skimmer
The Reef Octopus Elite 220-S is the ultimate solution for large-scale reef systems where filtration performance is non-negotiable but sump space is limited. By mounting the powerful VarioS-6S DC controllable pump inside the 9-inch reaction chamber, Reef Octopus has significantly reduced the required footprint without compromising the processing power required for systems up to 530 gallons.
As part of the prestigious Elite series, the 220-S features the "Super Cone" body design—a precision-engineered taper that reduces internal turbulence and allows foam to stabilize and thicken as it rises toward the neck. This shape ensures that even the most stubborn dissolved organic compounds are efficiently removed from the water column. Coupled with the intelligence of the VarioS controller—featuring a safety float switch, 15/60 minute feed modes, and 0-10V integration—the Elite 220-S offers commercial-grade processing in a remarkably compact form factor.
